As option you can generate xml directly in gradle in test task, it works fine in our project

useTestNG() {
    suiteXmlBuilder().suite(name: 'Default suite') {
        test(name : 'test') {
            classes('') {
                'class'(name: 'com.example.EmpBusinessLogicTest')
            }
        }
    }
}

To execute this test task e.g. with Jenkins you will need to pass system properties to it:

systemProperties System.getProperties()
systemProperty 'user.dir', project.projectDir
